Las Vegas, New Mexico that is. I am actually staying in Montezuma, a few miles down the road from a city you think at first you might have heard of.
It is actually quite nice here – it’s the desert southwest, which I am glad to no longer live in but is very nice to visit – and it is the middle of nowhere but I am used to that too.
I am here for a conference: I am learning to be an IB physics teacher. It keeps me busy.
I am also doing some of the worst designed altitude training ever. I am spending about four days at 7,000 feet, and then, just as my body has dumped all the bicarbonate from my bloodstream and I have no plasma volume or lactate buffering capacity, I am going to fly home, get four hours of sleep if I am lucky, and get up to try to earn some money in a running race. Wish me luck – I will certainly need it!
